Utopia PKWY.

...is the name of Queens College's new undergraduate literary magazine, overseen by my onetime mentor John Weir.

Grateful for my graduate years at Queens, I made a donation to the magazine's effort and today received the inaugural issue.

It's full-color, perfect-bound, 124 glossy pages (including 4-page cover) with a long list of donors. We started Font at Hofstra with much less money and know-how, but were nonetheless able to plant the seed for a tradition that lives on.

May today's young writers and artists recognize the value of contributing to early outlets like these.
